I added "PAGE 1" and 2 and 3 to the menu item of owners list pages, as
well as cleaning up the menu explanation of the alternate album on the
cloud. I have started an alternate photo viewer that I designed to
be way simpler and less prone to errors. I implemented it for my
car (689) and plan to repeat it for others if no "issues" are found.

Rich, car 1456 is the latest to be honored in the world-famous Hall of Fame
- He has moved from the revered "donor list" to the supreme gold-star
category since he has supported the website in a financial way more than
one time! -- Not only that, but his message of appreciation
(appearing below the Hall of Fame listing) expresses his benefits from
the site over a 10-year span of time. Cool - and thanks!

12/23/14

The photo Album MAY be restored to working condition. It seems ok for
now, but has not been fully tested. All views of pics have again been
reset to zero. If you get an error message instead of pictures, it is
worth trying a couple of times in case it re-sets itself.

12/13/14

PHOTO ALBUM NOT WORKING -- AGAIN. -- The album has again acted
out, and will not likely work for the next week or two after which I
will reinstall a different, less buggy album. Meanwhile, the Cloud
album is operating.
CLOUD album version

12/12/14

Florida Roadster # 1402 is
FOR SALE now. Info is on owners list
page 3 but the pictures, for now, can be seen on the cloud, since
the photo album is "misbehaving" again.
This is a ONE FAMILY car!

12/12/14

The feature in the photo album on the Annex, which causes it to
malfunction any time that it senses that I will be away from my computer
- has activated. It appears to not be working again. Once you have a car
VIN, you can find pictures on the
CLOUD backup version of the album, until I can fix it or replace the
album with a less-buggy one.

12/11/14

I reviewed the "How much is a used Glassic
worth?" page and updated it by removing the "penalty for crummy
economy" factor. Cars seem to be selling a little more easily
these days. This page is designed for people who just don't know where
to begin in valuing a Glassic - not a hard and fast rule.

I will not
have access to my email or website next week.

12/10/14

Technical items added. First, a mechanic's advice to the owner of
car 1509 about changing the refrigerant on air conditioning. See
Air conditionerNote: Find items like this by going
to the main page Technical Information tab then Technical Specifics,
then the Tech index by item tab. If you can't find your topic, try
pressing control <F> to get a "find" window on your browser and type in
your topic.

My mostly finished effort to move the gas filler off the
rear deck car #689. I have yet to fill the tank, so this is a bit
premature and needless detail but here it is anyhow.

After picture is at the bottom of the page.

NJ Phaeton Replicar # 1100 is offered
FOR SALE - if you want a car with the work already done,
including extensive upgrades, this is worth a look. owners list
page 3

11/14/14

NJ Phaeton Replicar # 1100 sent some great after-restoration pictures.
Start on owners list
page 3 - This would be a good car to play "count the restoration
items". Lots of changes!
Car # 1178, a 1974, sent part info on his replacement radiator. You can
see it HERE, -- I also added some info
on my own aluminum radiator (#689, a 1973 Phaeton) which I had written
up, but not posted. Geeze.

Phaeton # 1100 - later in the day I added
two more pictures - one of which is the hunk of fiberglass the owner cut
off the front to make it look nicer.

11/7/14

FL Roadster #1505b added to owners list
page 3 . It was spotted on Craigs list and is nicely customized. The
VIN was designated as "b" by the Annex since car 1505 is another car,
and this VIN tag sounds not original.

11/6/14

California Phaeton # 1410, a former museum car, is now
FOR SALE
with info and pics by way of owners list
page 3

11/5/14

Indiana - our Glassic whisperer, David, spotted highly customized
Phaeton #209
FOR SALE many older pics can be found in the
ALBUM

WV Phaeton # 658 is likely FOR SALE by the brother who inherited the car in pieces. See
owners list
page 2 and follow the link to the TEXT with some info about the car.
This info came from a WV Glassic fan.

10/28/14

Florida COUPE #1286 has been added to owners list
page 3 He sent along some good pictures as well.
Colorado Phaeton # 1487 shared a couple of nice sharp pics. Link is also
on owners list
page 3
Alabama Phaeton # 30505 was spotted by David on
Craigs
list. That VIN is not in the normal sequence but could well have
been from around the time of #305.

After a week's absence, I am back at my computer and will be posting
pics and info later today.

FOR SALE
Roadster, in St Paul MN, # 917, has checked in. To the small pics
already in the
ALBUM, I added larger ones, designated with "-lg" in the file name.
See them full size by selecting ORIGINAL size on the upper right corner
of the album page. Info on owners list

Tennessee Phaeton (a 1977 Replicar) #1038 is FOR SALE

Added a few more pics of # 572 -- see the log entry below - to the
ALBUM

10/9/14

CA Phaeton # 572 is now FOR SALE.
Many nice upgrades. See owners list
page 2 Some pictures received and are in the
ALBUM

Annexmaster email responses and
website updates will be limited for the next week or so, hopefully less.

10/1/14

David, an owner who we can call "the Glassic Whisperer" is reporting
cars he discovers on the web. Some are interesting reference cars, and
others set me off on tangents that result in other discoveries.
The top three cars on the UNKNOWN VIN
page are interesting - two customized cars and a black one.

9/29/14

I got a new scanner, and am beginning to re-do some old printed
materials. First up were better enlargements of the International Scout
magazine TRAILS article from back in 1900's (1966). The
ARTICLES page has that feature.

I also am
working on my own article fuel
filler relocation as I figure out a practical way to get the
filler cap off the trunk deck (generation 2 Glassics). I am
leaning toward a JEEP filler neck, and will add to the article as I go
along.

9/28/14

New owner info for BELGIUM Phaeton # 423 added, along with the story and
one great pic of this white car. owners list pg. 1

intro to Glassics Youtube video, slightly revised from my first version,
and still awaiting getting a radio announcer buddy to do the voice part.

9/19/14

I finished my write-up of replacing my welting around the kick panels of
my car - with the exception of adding a shot or two of the dash panel,
when I put it back without the trim. The project was a success and is
shown here.
http://www.glassicannex.org/seat-trim/trim.htm

And as a further time-waster, I made a little Youtube video to
serve as an introduction to Glassics, for newly found fans.(I
deleted this video and replaced it with a slightly revised version)
While it IS a first effort, and far
from professional, I welcome comments and suggestions.
GlassicAnnex@aol.com

AddedFuel
filler relocated from rear deck
as an item on the tech page. This piece has been part of the McWreck
restoration page all along, but as I prepare to make a similar change, I
saw that it was not indexed. I hope to find a piece that adapts more
easily to our cars.

9/17/14

Some more photos of Phaeton 341 (a car with some good restoration pics
and Wisconsin scenery) are added to the
ALBUM -- note, if you look at the light blue bar near the top of the
album page, you can see that the folder you are viewing is 341 in 2014 -
click to the left of that and you can see car 341 (the rest of the
pictures).

9/12/14

VA car # 609 removed from "for sale" status - because - its sold!
I changed most of the main menu item headings to 2 lines for easier
navigation.

9/8/14

Feature article started, but not yet finished, on replacing the seat
trim on my 1973. This is the heavy cording or welting around the
panels. I am posting now because of the fun discovery UNDER the
back seat!
http://www.glassicannex.org/seat-trim/trim.htm

9/6/14

NOTE - The GlassicAnnex home page has changed - same info, but in a more
compact format. Comments welcome at
GlassicAnnex@aol.com --
you may have to hit your refresh button to see the new version the first
time.

New ALABAMA owner for Phaeton #1178 (a white one) posted on
owners list
page 2
Indiana Phaeton #1047 (a 1977 Replicar) is FOR
SALE with info on owners list
page3 - also there is only one picture added, but very high quality.

Phaeton # 864 (mentioned below) IS in NJ, has no top or frame and price
being reduced to $12,900 - according to David, who has reported to the
Annex on a number of ads he found on-line. Lance Motors, who is
selling the car, is expecting another Glassic soon also.

8/27/14

I am fooling with the MESSAGE BOARD today. For the umpteenth time,
someone reported difficulties posting on the board, so I am working on
that for the next couple of days. So far, I have removed the
HEADINGS for different forums (departments) since each heading only had
one department in it anyhow. (Actually, the message board looks pretty
much the same just without colored headings)

I have added a "how to
use this message board" forum (or department, or category of messages)
to try to clarify issues. Later today, I will post the item I
received by email and see if I can figure out where it does not go
smoothly. Feedback on issues with the message board are WANTED.
GlassicAnnex@aol.com

Posted
an issue on the message board in the technical section. Can anyone
help?

cars spotted as FOR SALE on the web
by David:
The same detective that found the eBay ad in the previous log (car
1449), saw their ad on another site. The seller did not yet respond to
my email, but the link
to their listing is here.

Here is a NY Roadster
on the same above sale
site - no VIN known on this one and have not heard back from the
seller yet, but it appears to be a 1976 or newer Replicar.

And my web surfing buddy ALSO found
THIS NJ Phaeton (turns out to be car #168) on Hemmings website. I
don't know if the owners list info is current or not.

7/21/14

Added Alabama Phaeton # 1449 to owners list
page3 - it was on eBay but appears to be sold by the time I
posted this, so info is only that the car exists and WAS in Alabama.

Brian Wiswell just got a THIRD gold star
in the almost famous Hall of Fame, for his
third separate cash donation to the website. Not only do people like
Brian make this website available to you all, but, I especially liked
the note on the check "Thanks for your hard work!" -- It is not really
HARD work, but there is a lot of time involved over the years --
thanks to fine folks like you, it is not also a wallet-drainer.
I really appreciate the financial support and the kind words!

Clean up day! Texas Roadster #514 shared some ownership info - including
the fact that car 541, was on the site, but really HIS car, so I deleted
the wrong info. Also some great new pics of car 514 added to the
album.
More info and pics from Roadster # 1147 - including his 1929 metal grill
shell, and how his car runs after the extensive engine rebuild. The page
CARTALES has a variety of interesting
bits from owners over the years. Browse through it !

7/9/14

Just before I left a couple of weeks ago the owner of the FOR SALE
Phaeton body only, (car 268) mentioned that his car had the
Abercrombie &
Fitch badge on it - This car's info on owners list pg. 1

In response to an email question, I thought to start
a page of tips for how to locate a Glassic
to buy.

7/5/14

The Annexmaster is baaaack! I arrived last last night from two
weeks in England & Scotland. I will be updating the website and
answering email over the next two days. Happy 4th of July. --

Texas Roadster # 514 - limited new owner info posted, and when
additional info received, will make another log entry.

I got some
great pictures of Wisconsin Roadster # 1147, along with a list of the
many engine parts he replaced in his car. The pics are mixed in
with older pictures, and rather than send you to owners list page two, I
am copying the photo icon
and also the text icon
for that car so you can hop right to them.

The mold referred to in today's log, according to Joel, the builder of
Glassics, is not a Glassic (or Replicars) mold, and is quite different
from the ones he used. Whether it measures the same as a Glassic, or
matches a Shay or actual Model A is unknown at this time.

Ok, now here is a different one! A fan spotted this
Michigan Craigs
list ad for a partial Glassic body mold - cheap. Just add a
car. Photos are a folder in the Album under
"odds and ends" in case the ad disappears. OK, people, who is
going to buy this?

6/16/14

A fan spotted a barn find in South Dakota, on his uncle's farm, and sent
along some pics. Phaeton #580 is not for sale, but can be seen on
owners list
page 2

Below is an example of us Glassic fans coming
together at the Annex to share. I will post this just as I got it
--

Hey Don , I found a killer
deal on a Glassic body. Here is the link-
https://capecod.craigslist.org/cto/4478903560.html If it wasn`t
so far away I would grab it myself. And he is not even firm on the
price! I would put it on a S-10 frame & use the steering ,wiring
,engine & all from the S-10. Someone is going to get a awesome
bargain. Check it out & let me know what you think. Thanks, Bob W.

Cape Cod area. I wrote to the seller to see
about VIN, title, and possible pics and will post any reply.

6/15/14

New Georgia owner posted for car # 407. See
owners list pg. 1 Also a PayPal donation
from Rick Reisert places his name in the beloved Hall of Fame.
It may have happened before, but this is the first time I noticed that
both the current owner and a previous owner of the same car had
sent donations to the Annex. Thanks to you both!

NOTE: Starting
about mid-week next week, your Annexmaster will not have access to his
computer for a week or two. No website updates during that time and I
will only have minimal-spotty email service at best.

6/14/14

Richard Mead has earned himself a spot in the hallowed Hall of Fame
for his check sent in support of the website. People contribute
information, pictures, and your Annexmaster contributes tons of time to
the website, but there is a special place for those like Richard who
ALSO send along some money to help with those constant web fees.
Thank you!

Car 689 (the Annexmaster's car) -- I made a page with some pictures of
the fuel filler setup from under the car. While photographing the hoses,
I found out why gas dribble out when filling up. Cracks in the dried out
old hose. The page is in the tech section at
http://GlassicAnnex.org/tech/engine/fuelfiller.htm. Other
owner contributions are also welcome for that page.

5/27/14

Wisconsin Phaeton #341 - added a few pictures of its new, very baggy,
top. The vendor promises that it will shrink. Time will tell. Now
is a time to look over the story and photos of car 341 - using the
little icons of a notebook and a camera on the
owners list entry for that car.
Side note - San Diego wildfires? That was my daughter's house
included in that mess. TWO bordering neighbors' houses and all of her 4
acres except her house burned to a crisp. Phew, good luck
(and planning) helped them a lot.

5/21/14

FL Replicar # 1067 reported as sold by another owner. New owner unk.
New TN owner for Phaeton # 1253 - see owners list
page3
Phaeton # 860, in Virginia reported as sold. New owner unk.

5/18/14

A couple of Annex friends spotted this Southern California Phaeton
on eBay. It is a newer Replicar, but not added to the owners list
since the seller did not respond with my request to a prior ad with a
VIN.

5/9/14

Added a link to a company that saw my JC Whitney car parts link and
asked me to include THEIR SITE on my links page. They give you JC
Whitney coupon codes for discounts when ordering on-line.
Links page, general section.

5/5/14

Two technical items added to the site. First, an International Scout
distributor settings chart added for International based Glassics.
Thanks to Chuck for sharing this item with us.

Second, my own FAILED
attempt at
replacing my seats. I usually don't add failed ideas, but in this
case, it may help someone in the future to plan more carefully than I
did. Also, it shows the frame under the driver's seat, and the several
problems that had developed over the years.

4/27/14

The GlassicAnnex email account (on AOL) was spoofed and many or all of
my address book got a spam email with a subject of something like RE:
Hi and a link to some website. Of course, that was not me who
sent it, and I have changed my passwords since. The term " RE:" is
used in a reply email, so, unless you sent out an email with the subject
of "Hi" you would never get a reply to "hi". -- Anyhow, I apologize for
this nuisance

Added some pictures that were generously shared by car owners. Car
110, an Ohio Phaeton, sent some recent shots. His car sits on an S-10
Chevy truck chassis. In one view, I tried to zoom in on the front frame
setup.
See all car 110 pics in the Album.

Alabama Car 185 sent a more
recent photo - I don't know WHEN I got this, since it was on my phone!
If there is anything that I know less about than auto mechanics, it is
cell phone magic!
See Car 185 in the album. Limited new owner info in
owners list pg. 1

3/27/14

Thunderbird replicas. I added some info about this short-run product of
the Glassic Family, based on having seen VIN 9006 for sale (it's
sold now) on eBay.
http://www.glassicannex.org/limited-eds.htm#others While this site
is really for the Model A replicas, I added this info since it is not
readily available elsewhere. (The seller thought he had a Shay, for
example.)

As part of my catching up process, I added part number info for
the universal joint in the steering column on a 1973. See the item
here. I posted some wheel covers for sale for an owner on the
message board. I am listing links here to some Glassics that I
found that are for sale.

The Annexmaster is back in service! -- My great, two-week
Caribbean cruise is over and now, back to work, sorting through emails
and spam and catching up, which will take several days. Changes will be
poster here in the log. I will NOT, however, be posting the 1300+
pictures my wife took on the trip. Sorry. :-)

Car 1008 has contacted the Annex, and I replied to first figure out
which car 1008 they have, the 1974 Glassic, or the 1976 Replicar --
remember, there were some duplicate VINs after the company returned from
bankruptcy. More will be added on that car later on.

Cleared out a lot of SPAM - a new hoax has appeared while I was
"away" which says that new Google Docs are available for viewing. Also,
the same spam for Dropbox - both are legitimate places where people can
store and share pictures, but the several emails that I got have a link
to -- who knows what.

I got a couple of alerts from eBay about Glassics for sale, and I
will post that info in the next day or so.

Someone asked about King
Pins - so, while looking on the technical page, I discovered that the
SEARCH feature on that page doesn't do ANYTHING, even on words that I
know are on the page. Fixed, for now. Pressing <Ctrl + F> brings up a Find box near
the top of the page -- I will improve on that necessary feature, but it
looks like it will be an all-day project to get it to work right on
different computer browsers.

3/9/14

Fl Phaeton # 691, mentioned two entries below in this log is actually
FOR SALE. owners list
page 2 has been updated

2/15/14

New Florida owner for Phaeton # 1488 has checked in with the Annex .owners list
page3

2/14/14

New FL owner posted for Phaeton # 691 on owners list
page 2.
I noticed that recently, when the main page opens, the newest info in
the log is not present and we have to refresh the page to get it to show
up. I am trying to fix that.

I am again
pondering my love-hate arrangement with the Annex Photo Album, and
exploring simpler, less buggy ways to display pictures.

1/30/14

Florida Phaeton #1488 is FOR SALE.
This car goes way back with the Annex. It's owner, Harold Stone,
attended the 2003 Glassic Reunion. This car is one of the ones on the
Annex homepage rotation of pictures, because it has SHAY wheels - giving
it a more authentic Model A appearance. Sale info is on
owners list
page3 and there are some old pics of the reunion in my
photo scrapbook.

1/21/14

Mississippi Phaeton #316 has a new owner, who sent some great pics of
this upgraded car. Start with the listing in owners list pg. 1
and click the camera for pics, and the notepad icon for updated
info.

When I upgraded to a new Windows 8 computer, it seems that the "SkyDrive"
-- or "the cloud", which is a file sharing place somewhere out there on
the Internet -- anyhow, the new setup was not compatible with the OLD
sky drive I had set up on Windows 7. That was a second place for
most of the ALBUM pictures of Glassics. The album is a great
program that breaks down from time to time, so the
SkyDrive Albumis a duplicate file location with the same
pictures. Take a look at it, and let me know if you find any
"issues" with looking at it (my email address is above)

1/16/14

I added some info about STEERING STABILIZERS, or STEERING DAMPERS, or
"Death wobble", in my case, pertaining to my car 689. This is in the
Technical section.

1/9/14

FL Phaeton # 691 is FOR SALE. See
owners list
page 2. Pictures from the current Internet listing are in a
separate folder with the older pictures. The "custom dash" in the older
pictures seems gone now, but all pics seem to be the same car. The
original red and blue Budweiser paint job is gone now. The
seller called me in answer to my request for a VIN, and seemed nice.

Also, NC Roadster # 659 send some updated info and lots of fresh
pictures of his FOR SALE car.
owners list
page 2 has the info, and link to the album. In the album for
his car is a folder for car "659-in-2014" which has the newest pics.

1/3/14

Ohio Roadster # 1275 is added to owners list
page3 The owners drove it home (see the 12/29 log
entry) just before the storm.

1/2/14

Added a FOR SALE Georgia Roadster # 1459 - spotted by an Annex fan in a
dealer ad. See owners list
page3

1/2/14

I am getting reports from Annex fans who have spotted Glassics for sale
(or just sold) on the internet. Here are some items that I have
added. Lime green Replicar just sold in Arkansas - has the rear spare
tire. Original VIN tag does not appear on the car, so we will call it
Car u044 Also two Phaetons being sold by Bob's Classics in
Clearwater FL # 304 and
# 746 -- # 746 has an interesting
profile shape on the convertible top

And there may be more to add as I
go over other leads from you viewers.

12/31/13

Received a donation by check from Dave and Lindsay Willman in support of
the website. They are driving their new Glassic home (100 mi+) soon -
let the adventure begin. And, of course, they gain a spot in the
hallowed Hall of Fame

12/29/13

The Annexmaster bought a new Windows 8 computer since the old one was
having errors. So far, I have managed to mess up the password and user
name setup required for the new computer. The sky drive (the cloud),
which has a copy of the photo album pictures is still there, but I can't
add to it, since the new windows 8 is not compatible with the very
recent Windows 7. Go figure, Microsoft!

12/28/13

Once again, the photo album showed an error message instead of the
pictures. I think I have repaired it --- again, but next year, it is
time for a different album program on the Annex. Merry Christmas,
all.

I added about a dozen screen captures of the Bonnie and Clyde car (u043)
to
the album. You can view both nights of the previous TV show on
the History Channel website. The Glassic appears on day two.

12/15/13

Added a couple of cars to the list. One is a Replicar that was spotted
in Ohio at a dealer (more to come if he buys it)
... and I assigned an "unknown VIN" number of u043 to the
Bonnie and Clyde TV car. On the
no VIN page, the numbers of no vin cars does not match up since some
turned into VIN cars when we found the number.

12/14/13

The photo album seems to have been fixed (minus all of the view counters
have gone back to zero). I do not know what caused the code error, so I
can't say when or if the problem will come back, but for now, it seems
ok.

If your radiator leaks, wait until I post the odd story from Larry's car
912 -- I am getting details, but he had 3 different radiators leak
before he figured it out. I will post his story soon.

That made
me wonder if I had finished my story about "car sometimes just would not
crank" - then it would. Among other problems, I have now reported
the sticking starter rod. The story is in the epilog here:
tech/electrical/index.htm#30-55

11/6/13

The link to the list of
UNKNOWN
VIN CARS, with pictures, appears at the top of each of the three
owners list pages. It had some missing photos from before I moved
the album location on the internet. The links have been fixed.

11/2/13

Alabama Phaeton with a Chevy V8 conversion and an odd VIN added to
owners list pg. 1
I noticed some link issues with pics on the unknown VIN car page - I
will fix them in the next day or two (THEN post the link here)

Tennessee Roadster # 408
spotted on eBay. This one is for sale by a dealer and has a DMV
made-up vin, but the seller shared the original vin with me. In
owners list pg. 1
Also, some of the best eBay pictures I've seen in a while,
including good under shots.
See Album

10/18/13

Again, things seem to happen in groups. Phaeton # 844 is added to
owners list
page 2 making it the second piece of news from Canada this month.
(Photo shows an interesting trunk on this car)

10/13/13

Canada Phaeton # 913 has been undergoing some serious upgrades. You can
read about them on their own page, with links
on that page to the album pics.
Alabama Phaeton # 407 is for sale
on eBay. I don't think the owners list is up to date, but I will
address that later. I just got back from being away not seeing
Alcatraz and not seeing the Yosemite Park. Our government may be
closed, but the Annex IS open for business!

10/11/13

Colorado Roadster # 1321 is FOR SALE.
See owners list
page3NOTE - website updates and email replies will be hit and miss for
the next week or two.

9/24/13

A different owner for Ohio Phaeton #414 has checked in and the car is
FOR SALE. This is one of few International engine Glassics with
automatic transmission. See owners
list pg. 1

I also asked the owner of Phaeton 609 about the odd grill shell
change. His answer AND comments from the prior owner are in
car tales - and the photos are in the
Album

9/22/13

I found a good eBay source for running board rubber strips (in black
only) and added it to my page on running boards. I have not ordered this
yet since I don't need it now, but the sample looks like a good fit at a
decent price.
http://www.glassicannex.org/tech/body/runningboards.htm

9/19/13

The Kansas Roadster mentioned in the log entry below - the owner sent
the VIN but it is a DMV made-up vin. I posted the car as unknown VIN car
u042 for now. Ebay pix are added to the
album.

9/16/13

Added some pics of Phaeton 609 to the
Album. Notice the extended hood, new grill shell and other mods to
this car.
Here is a Kansas "for sale" Roadster
on eBay. I have asked the seller for the VIN, but not heard yet.
And a Michigan Roadster, Replicars # 1113, spotted
on eBay by a website friend. The auction is over now, but car did
not sell, so it may be available or will be re-listed.

Missouri Phaeton # 1113, a 1974, has been added to
owners list
page 2 - They have owned the car since 2005.

9/3/13

It has been a while since this has happened, but we have a new car and
owner checking in. Roadster #831 in Canada has been added to
owners list
page 2

I located a possible product for the insert strips on
running boards on the earlier Glassics. The sample seems to fit and I
ordered a full roll. Once I am sure it works, I will post details.

Phaeton # 341 has been undergoing restoration. Today I added three pics
of the TOP FRAME - both apart for re-aligning and then back together
again. They start at top row right. Other interesting pics
of this car on that page in the
ALBUM

The GlassicAnnex photo album seems to be stable since I moved it to a
different hosting company. Today I changed literally hundreds of links
of various pages that referred to pictures at the old location.
Hopefully they now all point to the new location for the
Album.

I also got rid of the older LOG entries, and moved them to a
"historical" file. You can find old logs at the bottom of this
page (although I cannot imagine why anyone would want to see
them.

8/26/13

Michigan Phaeton # 141 has a new email address. That usually does not
rate a LOG entry, but since the car is
FOR SALE and the photo album has been so flaky lately,
I thought I would report the info that is on owners
list pg. 1

Photos - The album seems to be working right on the sister-site
http://GlassicReplicars.com/0phpalbum and I have fixed the three
owners lists so that the icons point to the same pictures at the new
location. I also have updated the log so that any old references to the
album now point to the new site. Please report any mis-fires to my email
above. There are still likely some places on the Annex where a link goes
to the album at its old location.

8/18/13

PHOTO ALBUM - The old photo album will be down for repairs today - it
has not worked right for some time, so I will try to reinstall it.
The links on the owners page won't work while I try this, but you can
try the other album on the SkyDrive in the meanwhile.

Reloading the program did not solve the problems, but the new version of
the old album still more or less works so many of the links on the
owners page work. Sometimes.

Today, after a variety of problems with more than one Photo Album
program, I bought a new web domain, with a new hosting company and
loaded the old album into that website. The progam seems to work fine,
although all of the counters are re-set to 0 views, and the captions are
gone, for the most part.

I plan to use the current picture links on the owners lists to soon
point to the OTHER website gallery -- it will look the same, but
hopefully will work right. For now, the photo album will be the
only thing on that other website. Please have a look, and report
any problems to my email above.
http://GlassicReplicars.com

By the way, if you wonder what I do with the
donations that I receive, there went $48 of it for the new name and
hosting service - likely a good investment if it keeps working right.

Phaeton 576 won Fan favorite. My first chance to add new pictures
to the SkyDrive Album.

7/27/13

FL Phaeton # 540 was SOLD, -- see my prediction in the log for 7/18/13

7/21/13

New Washington State entry for Replicars Phaeton #1082 can be found on
owners list
page3

All of the pictures in the original album are also on the
new SkyDrive album.
- this camera icon will lead you to the main Album page or sometimes to
individual car pages.

7/20/13

Once again, I am trying to get the photo album to work on the Sky Drive
(the cloud) instead of the existing album. You can see what
progress I am making here (I think)
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=B03D8914A2A77E88!121
Some of the pics on this are just samples that I moved there to begin to
figure out how it works. So far, no captions on the pictures.

While this system has disadvantages, it also is less prone to failures.
I am still testing to see how hard it will be to link to a specific car
within the new
GLASSIC-SKYDRIVE ALBUM (this is the same link as the jumbled code in
the other link above)

The entry in the log below (car
540) is my first effort at making a direct link to the new
SkyAlbum. What I have done is made a new camera icon to go on the
owners list, that will send people to THAT site (the cloud). As I put
additional new info onto the SkyAlbum, I will use the new icon. It
is not as complete as the old album - the only thing is that IT SEEMS TO
WORK RIGHT! Look at Car 540!

7/19/13

Florida Phaeton #540 is FOR SALE. Info is on owners list
page 2 - My guess is, that at this price, the car will sell soon!

Washington state Phaeton, # 1104 is added to owners list
page3 and is for sale. This car
is 1977 Replicar and has some good pics.
Colorado Roadster # 684 has checked in along with some pics. See
owners list

Here is a very rough video of Florida car 1290 - well on its way
to being the fastest (not prettiest) Glassic out there. Scroll down a
little to see the movie or a lot to see some work done on this car over
the years. Car 1290. -- the comment at
the end of the video summarizes it well!

Received a donation to support the website from Ronnie Kitts. Not
only is it nice that he added his financial support, but that he took
the time to write a check, address an envelope and include a nice
note as well. Thanks, Ronnie, your name is now enshrined forever
in the Annex Hall of Fame
.
CT car #327 was reported sold. New CT owner's name unknown.

in Virginia. See owners list

A special thanks to Steve Schneider who sent a monetary donation to the
Annex by way of the US Mail. I hope all viewers of this site join me in
thanking people like Steve who allow me to post ANY info that might be
useful or enjoyable, without worrying about whether it will raise
provider fees to the next fee level. I still remember years ago
when I would limit pictures to no more than 5 per car, just to keep fees
down. Thanks Steve, and welcome to the Annex Hall of Fame
.

Connecticut Phaeton # 327 is now marked as for sale. Contact
info is on the owners
list pg. 1

Florida car 108 now has a new owner, who says his car has front disc

I documented a goofy electrical issue with my car 689 -- including some
thoughts on intermittent problems and troubleshooting wiring
problems. It is in the
technical section.

Brian and Peggy Wiswell made a cash donation (by check and US mail) to
help support the website. Since this is not their first donation,
they have been awarded two spinning stars in the Hall of Fame
. While not everyone needs to donate cash, we should all appreciate
those who do help, since otherwise, this website would have about
1/10 as much content. Many thanks, Wiswells!

KING PINS --
in the V-8 Glassics up to about 1975, there have been more than a few
problems reported with king pins - I posted the latest comment on the
message board, and hope that others who have had this problem, or solved
it, can share your knowledge on the message board. If you cannot
find the message board, or the king pin topic, please email me at the
address above and let me know. I think its easy to locate, but
then, I know where to look!

5/5/13

Wisconsin Roadster # 351 is now listed as for sale

A special Thank you to Thomas Peterson for his PayPal cash
donation to support the costs of this website. His name has proudly been
added to the Annex Hall of Fame

Sacramento CA area Roadster # 1029 is for sale
on
eBay. This car has a pretty complete history (see
owners list
page 2) and one of the nicer wheel choices I have seen on our
Glassics. This is not an eBay auction, but a sale car, so you can
contact the owner to discuss the car.

3/17/13

Washington Phaeton #1253 is for sale with a reduced price. See
details and pictures of the car in the Annex
Premier Gallery
Missouri Phaeton # 1121 is for sale at a lowered price. See
owners list

2/27/13

I added some HORN minutia to the
technical page. This pertains to the switch under the dash that changes
between an aoogah and regular horn.

I hope you will send me feedback
(email above) on whether YOUR car has this switch and what it operates -
since my second horn is missing. (1973 Phaeton)

Texas Phaeton # 898 may soon be raffled off. Latest info can be
found on the text icon on the owners list entry for the car onhttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=121081163859&ssPageName=ADME:B:EF:MOTORS:1123

You know, every time I have a technical problem with the
photo
album, I look for alternative ways to display the pics, but so far,
I have not found ANY other solutions that display that number of pics
nearly as well.

2/21/13

I wrote up my car 689 experience replacing the starter solenoid, with
part source info and why I thought I needed to replace it.
Starter solenoid replaced

2/20/13

I have been messing with the PHOTO ALBUM - since it had an error a week
or two ago. Some of the cars were not showing up. I think I fixed
it, but all the counters have reset to zero views. I will see if I
can restore that part later on, but at least the cars are all there now.
If you get an X where a picture is supposed to be, try your REFRESH
button.

2/19/13

FL Roadster # 339 spotted as for sale by a dealer. See
owners
list pg. 1
Also, I noticed problems with the photo ALBUM again - I think I
fixed it, but let me know by email (address above) if you cannot view it
at all. It may be slow to load the first time you look at it.

There was a question on the message board about the fuse panel, and
since nobody answered it yet, I thought I would do a little digging.
Here is what I have added to the Tech page so far:
fuse panel

Long-time Glassic family Bill Crozier, sent along some more pics of
Florida Phaeton # 879 - that he spotted at a car show. The new shots are
in the top row in the
Album. - Thanks, Bill. Note the different back window,
and wooden dashboard on this one.

1/21/13

Added a couple of nice pictures of Roadster #715 to the
photo album. They are the ones with the least "views." I
removed the New Year's greeting from the main page picture rotation. I
will put it back in 11 months or so!

1/13/13

Wow, its been a quiet couple of weeks on the Annex. Today I received TWO
great donations from Jim, the owner of car 1509, as of now the last
known Glassic made. First, he shared
some sale documents, which can
be found at the bottom of the Replicars literature page, and he
also included a check, gaining him a place in the Hall of Fame.
It is so nice when someone shares both his personal documents AND some
cash. I was able to scan those documents in a nice large size without
worry that it would use too much of my web space. Way to go,
Jim!

(because of this literature, I was able to make another entry in
the new car price section)
